These review/rating popups really annoy me, though the mechanism they're using in this post might not be as bad.
Can you imagine if websites nagged you in this same way? Why do we think it's an acceptable user experience to nag in apps?
- karmelapple 10y agoWe don't, but it translates into serious increases in downloads if done right. It's pretty hard to ignore, though I don't do that in my current apps. One area where this can be addressed is at the App Store level; change the incentives so writings reviews aren't so important. If the OS is collecting how much people use an app, for instance, why not more highly rank apps in the App Store that demonstrate consistently high use?
- elevensies 10y agoI also hate modal dialogs on general principals. If I'm focused on a task, I will immediately dismiss the dialog without even trying to interpret the meaning. I'd like to see apps try to implement this kind of message within the normal UI without forcing the immediate priority over my own needs.
